I had a guy call me the Anti-Christ today. What did you do?

[Shuguard]

Today, like most days, I had woken up late to go to my chemistry class, and as i was heading to my car i noticed a chipmunk crouching on top of one of my garden statues. It was a true sign the Anti-Christ had awakened. Then i read the OP and it was true! Then I continued about my day and had left over pizza.

 

[Mau95]

Called some dude the Antichrist.

He was trying to open a portal to hell using human sacrifice at the time so it felt appropriate.

Fool his intents are not something as tame as Satan. He was summoning an unspaekable being that feeds on entropy itself.

How can anything feed on entropy?

Entropy is delicious. Seriously, you should try it some time.

I was referred to as Jesus all night at a comedy night.

Does that mean we're meant to fight or something? Or have an earth shattering game of Scrabble?

Maybe? I'll be honest, I used to be big into Revelation theory, but I kind of can't be arsed to bother with predicting the future anymore. I think I get to stomp around the Earth for awhile with Satan, and then you show up and back-hand us into a fiery lake.

Your name is appropriate. Or not.

 

[Nigh Invulnerable]

The Anti-Christ? Seriously? That guy needs to tone it down.

Well, what did I do, hum... I had very little sleep, fed and dressed my child, dropped him off at daycare, and then proceeded to go to work where I fulfilled my role as a productive member of society. Sounds pretty boring when I put it that way.

Well, I've not done anything today cause it's pretty early.
But yesterday I went to the doctors - apparently I looked nice. Because some guys leaned out of a car to yell at me on the way there and a dude in the waiting room wouldn't stop staring at me.
Like proper staring. It was kind of creepy.

I don't get that when I'm out with my boyfriend. This was the first time I'd been somewhere without him in a while. So I'm not sure if it's a compliment or what.

Wow, that sounds really, really creepy. The guys leaning out of the car can be explained by you looking great and them being boys, but the staring... That's just downright uncomfortable and weird.

Yep. Being a responsible adult does sound boring on the outside. Then you tell someone about the day a guy answered his door buck-naked for your sales presentation. Or the time you had a dog chase you off the property. Or the guy who threatened to shoot you, because he's in the NRA and has a gun. Working with people is always strange.

 

[Mau95]

-I hadn't heard about that.
-Proof of the end of days is everywhere. Unless you're a powerful and wealthy person who is enslaving people with a special mark or a giant monster rising out of the sea, it's unlikely that you're the Antichrist.
-I slept in.

 

[Captain Anon]

Erm...

I may or may not be sharpening a stake right now with the purpose of killing the Anti-Christ and becoming the saviour of humanity...

stakes are for killing vampires not Anti-Christs try a magical artifact those usually work against Anti-Christs but if that doesn't work try cutting him up and throwing them round the world

I played TF2 until Meet the Pyro was released, watched it, and then I went back to playing.

I was at a lecture about the dangers of driving. I'm working towards getting a license you see.

In a couple of hours I'll be going out to take a long drive (5 hours) with my instructor.

What kind of driving test takes five hours to complete?

Don't the Finnish spend 3 months doing a series of driving tests?

OT: What's this "gay Oreo" thing?

I honestly don't know, and googling is too hard.

EDIT: Turns out that it's not that hard to Google. I has seen the Pride Oreo thing and didn't even think about it. I assume some bigots got sad?

 

[Macgyvercas]

Snip

I'd have told him the Anti-Christ lives in Topeka Kansas (i.e. Fred Phelps).

OT: I went to work today. It was rather dull, but I get to play with chemicals, so it evens out.

The problem with logical arguments you're prepared to defend is that largely you have to defend them against people who have no interest in arguing from a place of logic or really common sense.

Today I saw my brother graduate and applied for a job. I also helped a distressed blind woman find her train and then stepped on a nail on my way home. My foot hurts.

As I understand it, most driving in the states happens on straight, broad highways.

Not really. The street I live on looks pretty similar to what you posted, only there's 200 year old oak trees just two feet from the pavement. The only thing keeping you out of them is a reliable set of tires and a foot deep drainage ditch.

That's the street you live on though. Of course most driving happens on the roads in and around cities, but I was - probably a bit unclearly - referring to inter city travel. I should've specified that. Puttering around the city at 15-25 mph isn't much of a challenge so long as you know the traffic rules, so I was sort of disregarding that as I was talking about a class that sought to improve driving skill. I didn't remember I had to specify what I was talking about since I'm used to talking about driving with people with the same frames of reference as me.

The main places you find the stereotypical American roadways are cities, suburbs, and anything marked Highway or Interstate on the road sign[footnote]Some variations include US Route, State Route, some stretches of boulevard and parkway.[/footnote]. These roads may make up for a fair chunk of the mileage of our road network but they don't make up the majority of your driving if you're going cross-country. Get just five miles out of city and you're driving on twisty, up and down 35-45MPH affairs with roughly the width of the right-hand line constituting the shoulder. Real fun when you're in the requisite vehicle for such an area: A pickup truck >15 years old.


We'd probably put a 55MPH speed limit on the landevei you posted.

That's approximately the landevei speed limit.
All landeveis (writing this Norwenglish stuff is getting confusing) have a standard speed limit of 80 km/h. Most of them are a fair bit shittier than the picture I posted though (I tried to find a more representative picture, but bloody google only produced pictures of road racing bikes), in the sense that there is less of an unobstructed view, and more potholes and cracks. The frost heave ruins pretty much every road we build.

Over here, most driving happens on narrow, twisting (both vertically and horizontally) 'landeveier' lined with mountains and forests that we share with both moose, deer, pedestrians, horses, reindeer, sheep, cows and bicyclists, making overtaking other cars quite a challenge.

Yeah, that sounds like the roads in my area. They're especially fun with three inches of snow on top of half an inch of ice.

If the roads are indeed as twisty and offer as poor visual conditions as they are/do over here, I'm surprised you don't receive some basic training in how to appropriately overtake another car.
It's a surprisingly demanding procedure in those kinds of conditions. Mostly because you have to shift over to the opposite field to see if the coast is clear, and even then you can't see oncoming traffic until it's getting pretty close.

In addition, these roads are covered in ice, snow and slush 6 months of the year. During these 6 months, the sun practically doesn't rise either, so it's dark.

America is so big that that isn't the case for every state, but in many states that's business as normal. I'm in Tennessee myself, so while we don't get six months of snow, when we do get snow it's just as nasty.

And I assume the states where snow and such is the most common condition to be driving on include more extensive road safety courses than the states where you can rely on tarmac.

For example, I recently spent four hours on a track designed for experiencing braking and handling on slippery surfaces and throwing the car out of control. You know: the kind of track with steel plates covered in oil and water where the teacher'll turn of the TCS (and the ABS if they can).

The "army of evil" uses tolerance and logic to fight? Sign me up, glorious leader!
Let's be "bad guys".

Today I bought my own Avengers band-aids. Being a grown up is awesome. I have an Iron Man band-aid on my face.

Erm...

Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't the bible say that anyone who speaks against jesus and the bible is an antichrist. I seem to remember seeing that somewhere.

 

[Chanel Tompkins]

Did the dishes, cleaned the house, washed laundry, got yammered at by my mom's Mormon friends, and played Pokemon Conquest.

Was just chillin' in the park, when a bunch of guys in these kick-ass cloaks came up to me and asked if I'd like to be involved in a service later. Now, I thought it was a bit early for Christmas, but what the heck, so I said yes. Was chilling with them for a while when they said it was time to go. Walked to a nearby forest (it was sunset by this point) where for some weird-ass reason, there's a goat tied to a tree. That was where shit started getting weird, one of them (think his name was Rick) DISEMBOWELED the goat and started drawing shapes with its blood and guts. I'm a bit squeamish, so i was feeling ill, so i'm not sure if the fact the world went a bit blurry was just me, or the weird shit the other guys had begun chanting. Sounded pretty old, Latin or something. Next thing I know, the goat starts shaking, and this huge bloke just pops straight out of his stomach, it was literally like in Alien! I was pretty sure it was the end of the world, but the guy (he was about 8 feet tall and had hooves. and was naked) just looked around and went 'Oh for fucks sake, not you guys again', tore Rick's head off, looked at the rest of us and said 'Dusk is BATHTIME, okay?!'. Then he just strolled back into the goat's stomach.

So yeah, today I got a new cloak!

What color cloak? Is it soft? You got to make sure you have a quality cloak before you go out and have adventures in it. If you just have one of those cheapo ones the colors will bleed when it gets wet and your clothes will be ruined.

Maniacal laugh is an option.
Messing with people's heads like that is always fun.

Your right about homosexuality not being such a huge thing as many make it, its lust and someone who is banging girls left and right is in bible terms the same as someone who's banging dudes. sins a sin, they isn't really a level of whats worst.

 

[darlarosa]

Eh since he technically referred to you as being part of the "end days" the proper response is that every single generation has had someone declare it is the "end days". The fact is no one knows when the "end days" are, and using that is an excuse for people to say "you don't believe as I do, so I can't be a big baby and get the religious tyranny I REALLY want".

On the other note, why do people give a crap what people do in their own bedrooms, in their own economic situations, marriages/partnerships, or when they kiss and hold hands in public (for under a ten second time limit then public affection in general becomes unseemly. Honestly it really does). You have kids simply tell them if they ask that two people in a relationship often express affection and love that way, it's no different then a heterosexual couple. People need to learn to mind their own freakin business
